2026 Swiss government portrait featuring a moustachioed twink in the background
Aforementioned twink slightly zoomed in on because bsky picture compression made it difficult to make out the moustache in the full picture which would've ruined the bit
+++ BREAKING: swiss government weighs in on moustache discourse in its 2026 portrait, decidedly backing twinks with moustaches remaing IN + relief among subgroups of the gays™ reported +++

Google’s complete indifference to the quality of search experience is almost impressive at this point.
Search results are crap now, AI results boxes are worse, and Google dgaf.

Oh no. Tom Lehrer gone. At his great age, it’s not a tragedy, I know, but it just does feel bad not having his genius in the world.
NEW: Inside Gaza’s ‘death traps’ via @FT
GHF’s plan forces hungry Palestinians to trek miles to aid sites, often through the IDF’s active military areas. Hundreds have been killed and thousands injured. This is how…

Numbers unclear: organisers hoped for 35k to 40k to defy the threat of legal consequences. “We believe 180,000 to 200,000 people attending,” Viktória Radványi told AFP. “It is hard to estimate because there have never been so many people at Budapest Pride.”

amazing q&a with paul krugman
they just assaulted a sitting united states senator and dragged him out of a press conference
"opposition legislator violently removed by regime thugs" would be an accurate description if you saw it anywhere else.
"This isn't aid. It's a mouse trap." - important, harrowing piece this:
Financial Times editorial on Israel, calling on Europe to recognise a Palestinian state www.ft.com/content/8856...
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
this continues to be the most useful metaphor I’ve seen
Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.
Mein Gott but the FDP were a malign and destructive actor in German and European politics, who deserved to end up far further below the 5% threshold than they did. Literally a week after removing their influence and vital stuff gets done.
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
Washington has decided to abandon both Ukraine and its postwar role in the world, writes Martin Wolf. www.ft.com/content/b46e...

Nur konsequent... Eine historische Grenzüberschreitung und ihre Folgen
Well, I guess we’ll just never know whether it was a Nazi salute or not…

Hitler, Wehrmacht, Hasspropaganda - Ich habe mich beim #BSW als "Online-Wahlkämpfer" angemeldet und erhielt Zugang zur Wahlkampf-Cloud vom "Team Sahra #Wagenknecht". Dort fand ich NS-verharmlosende Hetze gegen Grüne und Selenskyi. Wer dahinter steckt? Die Spur führt direkt zu Sahra Wagenknecht. 🧵
Absolutely disgusting. How is it free speech to not allow people to call others mentally ill UNLESS they are LGBT+? That's just discrimination.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
